SUBMIT MEDICAL RECORDS

Health requirements and forms can be found hereat the University Health Services (UHS) website. Physical Therapy students are in Category B for health requirements.

To complete the health requirements:

Print Category B documents and take to your physician.

To submit your documents, enroll with American DataBank’s (ADB) Complio System, a company contracted by University Health Services, for a $30 annual subscription fee. ADB is a compliance tracking system where you will load your completed documents.

You are expected to use your Jefferson email account when enrolling in ADB.

Criminal Background Check

The Complio system will provide instructions for how to complete the background check. Please review the tutorials in the systems for support.

FBI Fingerprints

Pennsylvania Residents can have their fingerprints taken electronically. Non Pennsylvania Residents must have their fingerprints rolled.

The FBI fingerprints results will be emailed to you. You cannot view these results on your smart phone and you only get (1) chance to view these results on a computer. PLEASE PREVIEW THE TUTORIAL ON THE COMPLIO WEBSITE ON HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR FINGERPRINT RESULTS TO YOUR COMPLIO ACCOUNT.

Some students have difficulty with the clarity of their prints when getting their fingerprints rolled. American Data Bank suggests that prior to having your fingerprints rolled you should:

Wash your hands less frequently for two or three days before having your prints rolled

Put on hand lotion before having the prints rolled

Ask the officer/official rolling your prints to spray a ridge building or softening agent on your finger pads before they begin rolling your prints

If you feel your prints are in good shape but you are concerned about how the prints were physically rolled it is recommended that you go to another location for your next set. You can go to a police station or any security company that offers fingerprint rolling services

If your fingerprints were low quality or rejected for another reason, you will be required to repeat your fingerprints. Please contact the Admissions Office about repeating fingerprinting

There is a fee associated with repeat fingerprinting
